WAX218 Fast Roaming
Folks, After reading the following closed topics: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Business-Wireless/WAX218-Mesh/m-p/2061812 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Business-Wireless/WAX218-roaming...
Well said!
FWIW, I moved from a WAC6xx to these WAX218s and I find their management vastly superior. The Insight managed products — if you use them without Insight, which is what I did — have a wonky and slow UI. The WAX218s are way more responsive to manage, and they are rock solid. Love this product, and find my WiFi to be the highest quality I've ever had. As you said, the key is in the purity of the implementation. It's just doing all the basics right, without a lot of extra layers of "featuritis" to cause issues. Good stuff.

The WAX6x0 UI is back to be fast and responsive, not much of a difference to the WAC21x. I'd state if that grey shade with the "Loading..." would not be there (simply not required for 99 of 100 views, as everything loads immediately [logs take a little bit longer]) it would feel almost perfect again. Don't know exactly what (and even less why) they have applied changes on the WAC5xx Web UI about a year or so ago - on Chromium based browsers there are massive wonky and slowness parts [saying it nice - without a forced reload at an early stage, it can't be that the first page does take what feels like minutes] indeed. Would love RaghuHR to bring the attention required - the WAX6x0 proofs it's not a design issue.
All these WAX21x and the WAX6xx make up brilliant APs, indeed!
